This could change a few things. Mason did a good job at State bringing in several nice recruits over the past couple years.

Some might say, why go now? Isn't LSU in a lot of hot water? Maybe but I have not seen it happen and even if it did, recruiting specialist are mostly retained even when/if coaching staffs change. Those guys are key in keeping the class together and maintaining the contacts for the new staff.

That's underselling it.

5 star safety Jacoby Matthews, who was thought to be nowhere close to committing (and most thought he'd end up out of state), popped for LSU the day after smith got hired.

That might explain why he was hired! So he can do that at LSU when they clean up the mess soon.

This is a no troll zone.

I even said why he should go ahead and go even if something goes down with Coach O. Obviously, it will further his career, that's the point. DuH

We were hearing State might get a couple LA guys and now.. Me not thinking that will happen.

I may very well be underselling this hire. Dammit

We weren't getting Shazz Preston in any case, I don't care what Paul, Rosebowl or others said. LSU takes care of their own.

How is that a troll? So, you believe that the MSU football program is on the same level as LSU's football program?

Of course not, I even said he should go twice already.

Even after I said why he should go in my original post you had to pipe in a smartass remarks. That's trolling and I say keep that crap at the Rant.

Just be happy that LSU got a really nice recruiting specialist that had done some nice work for Miss State and he will help you guys get even better at recruiting. MSU had a chance at some guys you wanted in LA and it that chance just got even less likely with this hiring.

I can go to 247 and pick names but I don't have specifics that you won't have.

I just heard Smith was doing a really good job in LA and had a couple top guys there really considering us... now... I don't know anymore than you.

You may be right and I was just pipe dreaming.

I "piped in" to correct your inappropriate label of "troll" in reference to a fact. Now, you are just upset that I once again pointed that fact out. Maybe improving your understanding of what "trolling" is will help you to avoid getting your feelings hurt in the future.

LSU is a better job. I assumed everyone knew that part.

The only thing I was saying that if someone were to question him going there now with current administration allegations, don't worry about it. The recruiting specialist position could get even more valuable if anything ever goes down, which I doubt.

How's this:

A very good recruiting specialist that did a really good job for State and may have had some LA players really considering State has moved up to a real program at LSU.

There was no way State was ever getting anyone LSU wanted anyway. That was all a pipe dream.

Is that better?

LA has a ton of talent this year. LSU won't take them all.
